  • Montana Allows Unfettered Killing of Wolves by Wildlife Services

    Ken Cole

    “Wildlife Services agents no longer need FWP authorization to kill wolves at or near confirmed livestock depredation sites.” This is about the worst scenario for wolves of Montana that could be concocted by the state, especially while the decision to delist them is being considered in the courts. This nudges wolves even closer to a…

    It appears that some Utah legislators are reactionary too. One line of the bill states that “[t]he division shall capture or kill any wolf it discovers in the state, except for a wolf lawfully held in captivity.” At the bottom of the bill is the Legislative Review, which is written by the Office of Legislative…

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”
